In this video, we'll show you how to properly perform a standing hamstring stretch.

To begin, stand up straight with your feet together. Take a big step forward with one foot, keeping your heel on the ground and your toes pointing straight ahead. Bend your front knee and keep your back leg straight.

As you exhale, reach towards your toes and press your hips forward. Hold onto your ankle or calf, or you can use a strap if you can't reach your foot. Be sure to keep your back straight, and engage your core to maintain balance.

You should feel a stretch in the back of your thigh (hamstring) and glutes. Hold this stretch for about 15 to 30 seconds and then switch legs. Repeat for 2 to 3 times.

Be mindful of your body's limits and don't push too hard. You should feel a stretch, but it should not be painful. Make sure to also do a proper warm up before stretching to prevent injury. Remember to breath deeply and hold the stretch for as long as is comfortable for you. Happy stretching!
